Help window (and others) - Remember maximised state and don't overwrite normal state size and position

Status: Declined

Any idea that has not received any kudos within a year after posting will be automatically declined.

The Help window doesn't remember the window state when reopening it. If it was previously maximised it reopens it in the normal state with the size of the maximised window. Changing to maximised should also not overwrite the stored normal state size and posistion.

 

I frequently open the help window and this becomes annoying:

I've also encountered this with block diagram windows when opening on another PC. Instead of returning to the maximised state it opens in the normal state with maximised dimensions.

Example of block diagrams not remembering position after maximise and close, then re-open and restore down:

Definitely a bug/"feature"
